rxrpc: Lock around calling a kernel service Rx notification



Place a spinlock around the invocation of call->notify_rx() for a kernel
service call and lock again when ending the call and replace the
notification pointer with a pointer to a dummy function.

This is required because it's possible for rxrpc_notify_socket() to be
called after the call has been ended by the kernel service if called from
the asynchronous work function rxrpc_process_call().

However, rxrpc_notify_socket() currently only holds the RCU read lock when
invoking ->notify_rx(), which means that the afs_call struct would need to
be disposed of by call_rcu() rather than by kfree().

But we shouldn't see any notifications from a call after calling
rxrpc_kernel_end_call(), so a lock is required in rxrpc code.

Without this, we may see the call wait queue as having a corrupt spinlock:

In this case, note the corrupt data in EBX.  The address of the offending
afs_call is in R12, plus the offset to the spinlock.
